Ayrsley is a 5-tract neighborhood of Charlotte, NC, population 24,146. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.1/10, Moderate tier. 45% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Charlotte rate of 29.9%.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. The 5 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.5 to 5.4, a 1.9-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
18% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Running cool is economic stress, at 2.4/10.
Court records carry 1,202 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 52.8% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 10.5% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #62 of 111 neighborhoods in Charlotte. For a like-for-like read, Colvard Park and Oakdale score within a fraction of it.
Average gross rent runs $1,568, close to the Charlotte average. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $75,735. 55% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.1 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
